Another approach is to

• Move focus to the url bar with ⌘+L.


• Type the full name of the bookmark followed by a /.


• Press tab to select the second autocompletion (which in my experience is always the first matching bookmark name).


• Press enter.

As reported in How to Assign a Keyboard Shortcut Key to Frequently Used Google Chrome Bookmarks the key is to set the specific URL to a default Search engine.

• Open chrome://settings/searchEngines to load the list of search engines.


• In "Other search engines" add a new one with the following parameters:
  
  
  
  
  • Name: whatever you want, it is not relevant.
  
  
  • Keyword: the keyword you want, say SU.
  
  
  • URL: the URL you want to set, say http://superuser.com/.
  
  
  
  

After saving it, whenever you type SU in your URL bar you will be sent to http://superuser.com/.

Note: Shortcut is defined as 1 key combination, most of the other answers do require more typing.

Solution A: Autohotkey

Use Autohotkey and define your own shortcuts for your main bookmarks. Here is a script that I prepared as a dummy for you: chrome-bookmarks-shortcuts.ahk

For instance, hold SHIFT WIN and hit G to open gmail.com.

Solution B: Chrome extension: SiteLauncher (Speed Dial)

It helps to a certain extent, however, you can only assign one letter to a bookmark, not two or more.

Solution C: Chrome extension: Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts)

This extension can handle one letter or combinations to open assigned bookmarks. The only problem: You cannot enter those combinations in the URL bar. My workaround, CTRL + T for new tab, then TAB then combination.

However, both extensions feel a bit buggy.

Shortcuts in Firefox

To recall how the bookmark properties look like in Firefox and how easily you can assign a keyword (shortcut) to it:

In Firefox, now entering "mp" in the URL bar opened the specific website. As you can read in the net, Chrome 52- does not have this simple feature implemented and abuses the "Search engine" section for this.

This works well on Windows:

First make sure your booksmarks bar is showing (CTRL+Shift+b) and then use:

F6

or

Shift+F6

Those keys switch focus between the Address bar, Bookmarks bar (if showing), and page content.

So if my focus is on the page content, I would use Shift+F6 and then use my arrow keys to navigate my bookmarks.

Try this chrome extention Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) provided by Mike Crittenden.

The following works by typing a keyword into the address bar (omnibar) and pressing enter to jump to a specific url.
In Chrome (as of version 59.0), this isn't available through the bookmark manager like it is in Firefox, but you can easily use the Search Engine Shortcuts feature of Chrome to work the same way.

1. Right click the address bar (omnibar)


2. Select edit search engines...


3. Click on 'ADD' - which appears after the default search engines section


4. In the dialog that pops up:
   
   
   
   
   • in the search-engine field - name your bookmark
   
   
   • in the keyword field - enter your keyword shortcut string (what you will need to type in the omnibar to quickly jump to this 'bookmark'
   
   
   • In URL field - type in the url you want to associate with the keyword
   
   
   
   

Note: the url can contain a special placeholder: "%s" (without the quotes) that will serve as a placeholder for additional text that you can enter if you press tab after typing the keyword shortcut.

For example:
I use a keyword shortcut that jumps to list of bookmarks on pinboard.com by given tag. For that:

• I use 'pint' as keyword,


• and https://pinboard.in/u:jaysen/t:%s/ as url.

Then to access all my bookmarks on pinboard tagged with 'todo'

• I type 'pint' in omnibar,


• press TAB


• type the tag I want to visit - in this example 'todo'


• and ENTER
  This takes me to https://pinboard.in/u:jaysen/t:todo/
  

Try this
Chrome Bookmark Shortcut:

You can now open bookmarks using key board shortcuts.

You need to manually edit the javascript code, but instructions are provided at the above link.

Inspired by the approach of Dennis:

It didn't work for me and this is probably because his answer is kind of old, but I liked the approach about implementing this myself, since there doesn't seem to be a proper solution out there in the web store.

Here's what you need to do:

• Create 2 files, manifest.json and background.js. Put them into a new folder and add the content below to those files.


• Within chrome, type chrome://extensions in the address bar and activate developer mode on the top right (switch).


• Click on the Load unpacked button that appeared and select your folder containing the files.

That's it, with this, you have what you need. As soon as you type CTRL+ALT+G, google will open in a new tab. :)

manifest.json:

  {

    "name": "Bookmark Shortcutter",

    "version": "1.0",

    "description": "Custom shortcuts for bookmarks! Coolio!",



    "permissions": ["http://*/*", "tabs"],

    "content_scripts": [

      {

        "matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*"],

        "js": ["background.js"],

        "run_at": "document_start"

      }

      ],

    "manifest_version": 2

  }

background.js:

if (window == top) {

    window.addEventListener('keyup', doKeyPress, false);

}



var bookmarks = {}, url;



bookmarks['G'] = 'http://google.com';

bookmarks['S'] = 'http://superuser.com';



function doKeyPress(event){

    if(event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && !event.shiftKey) {

        if(url = bookmarks[String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode)]) {

            window.open(url);

        }   

    }

}

I know this thread is quite old. But this is to inform those interested by a solution, that in the past weeks I have programmed an extension to mimic firefox behavior.

The extension picks the aliases directly from your bookmarks. The user adds an alias by editing a bookmark in chrome's bookmark manager. If it works as a bookmark it works as an alias (http(s), javascript, with/without %s parameter). It's also easier to export/import bookmarks with their aliases.

You can find it in the webstore under the name "Alias Bookmarks" by Achernar.

An easily accessible fuzzy search over your Chrome bookmarks:

1. In order to search the bookmarks, activate Vimium chrome extension's "Vomnibar" with b key from any webpage.



2. 
   

   If you want to create a system-wide shortcut, you could use the following Autohotkey automation tool script

   
   
   

   #NoEnv
   
   SetBatchLines -1
   
   ListLines Off
   
   SendMode Input
   
   
   
   #Space::  ; windows+space will open a Chrome window with search bar over bookmarks from any location
   
   run, http://blank.org  ; Or any regular webpage
   
   WinWait ahk_exe chrome.exe
   
   WinActivate ahk_exe chrome.exe
   
   WinWaitActive ahk_exe chrome.exe
   
   send, {b}
   
   return
   
   

   
   

Bonus: you can search your bookmarks by folder by using /. Type in "Vomnibar" /myBookmarkDir myBookmark
